Pre-season (2025/26) - NUFC to play Espanyol on 08/08/25
Stifler replied to bowlingcrofty's topic in Football
Off topic, but a Rolex from 15-20 years ago was a great looking simple watch. A Rolex today is far too big on the wrist, in an attempt to get people to notice. They went from simplistic and just a touch of something special, to flashy and a status symbol, even more so with the models that have multiple dials, and altitude indicators. You’re not using them as you drive to your business meeting in your Porsche. -
Chris Wood is enough of an example to show that we should be investing in players to get in the 1st team and trickle down the talent into the squad, rather than buying players for the squad.

They look shit though. A Rolex Date is nowhere near £100k like. Probably about £40k. -
They won’t go for Howe. They need someone who is going to big the players from the big clubs all the time. Howe will drop obvious players day in day out if he feels that they can’t work to his standards. Pushing shirts that say Kane on the back is more important than playing Watkins and winning the Euro’s.
-
We’ll spend the next 4 years doing fans surveys, coming up with proposed designs/plans, and going through the panning process. If SJP is being rebuilt or worked on, then the wrecking ball will be ready to go as soon as the Euro’s are over. That is if option C isn’t used.

This is it. He isn’t suited to international football, you could say the same for Rafa, and Mourinho. They need time to bed in their philosophy, look at Hall, a year to get a game, even only did because of injuries, even though Howe see’s him as someone for the future. I can’t see him going even if the FA asked about him, but even if he did, he’d be making a huge mistake. The FA will go for someone who won’’t cause a fuss, who’ll pick the players at big clubs who’ll sell a few more England shirts, any sort of progress or success is secondary to them.

Going to be in the winning team photo, no matter who wins. -
They play again on Tuesday I believe. Their Twitter page doesn’t say cash only, so they might be taking card payments for entry?
-
That 100% has to be another Burnsie account.
-
We have the team in place which makes her role pretty much redundant now. You could argue that she should oversea the women’s side of things, but even that will be highly stays based now, with their infrastructure etc all being included in the plans we have elsewhere in the club.
-
I believe so.
-
Every women’s game I’ve been too I’ve paid for. I think the lowest I have paid was £2 for my nieces, but that was before the takeover. I’d love to know where the free tickets for lasses could be had.

After knocking out Montreal in the last round, Canadian Premier League team Forge FC have beaten Toronto FC in the 1st leg of the Canadian Cup semi-final. That is 1 hell of a result.
-
They have, but I don’t think they are unbeatable.
-
I actually don’t think we need to fear them though. They are not the same Spanish team who ripped football apart for 3 tournaments.
-
I think they were 2nd best even before then. They had a good 10 minute spell in the 2nd half.
-
The goalkeeper was proper Pickforded there.
-
See what having proper forward up front does, that.
-
Won is a very lose term.
-
Been playing with 10 with Kane today.
-
Dutch starting to turn up a bit now.
-
Kane is a liability. Every pass of his has either been backwards, or taken so long it may as well have been backwards. Everyone else is pressing their defenders high up, and he doesn’t, suddenly the Dutch are away with the ball.
-
Saka too, but no one is matching his pace and getting in the box for him.
-
Why does the crosses in to the box have to be so slow? Drag ball backwards, wait, wait, wait, then cross it.
-
Aye, with this you could try and form an argument that he’s went in a bit reckless, with the PSG one, there is no argument to be had.
